Coffee Chat & A Sister Spa Getaway

Happy Saturday! Grab that cuppa jo and join me for a coffee chat including a peek at our sister spa getaway in the Pocono Mountains.

Have you ever wondered what two hundred $1 bills looks like? One of Zach’s buddy’s paid his portion of their airbnb trip last weekend in ones. Thanks Matt.

It took 10 minutes to deposit two hundred $1 bills at the ATM because the bank was closed. The dude behind me had to switch lines. Sorry buddy.

Gracie wanted a pic, so here we are. Make up free. Au natural.

The morning my sister and I left for our spa getaway Lily decided she would get up early with me. My alarm goes off at 545a, and she wanted to sit beside me while I did work on the couch.

I had to take a picture of the way her sweet baby feet were peeking out of the blanket and her little hands were holding mine. These years go too quickly.

For the past 2 weeks Caleb has gotten super into the game Risk. Zach sent me these pics while Emily and I were away. Apparently he legit beat Zach. We have got some nerdalicious boys in this house.

Months ago my sister and I decided to go on a girls getaway this summer. We considered everything from San Diego to Boston, but then decided we would rather stay close and spend the money on a relaxing spa getaway rather than travel.

Emily found the French Manor Inn & Spa in the Pocono Mountains just a couple of hours away. You guys. Seriously, we would not believe how nice it was and all the amenities that came in our package.

I am going to an entire blog post breaking down all the details because I got so many DMs on Instagram. Coming very soon I promise!
